Wanting to use the resources on my Mac via a network cable connection to my
Win XP machine.
XP can see the mac address but not the mac to XP.
I have played with the TCP/IP and Appletalk settings to no avail.Using
Ethernet 10/100 Base T cable.
Do I need particular software to translate from mac to windows?

My history is from the macside - windows is for the kids school.

Stumped again.

John.
